Part of the pop-tart has been chemically altered due to the heat. The pop-tart is in a different state than before you started.

The real question is, why are you bothering to cook a poptart? Just eat it out of the box.

Because it tasts better...IMO

 

[Cheesemoo]

If it wasnt held at 140 degrees or higher for those 3 hours, then there may be some e coli or botchulism or maybe even some salmonella if you are lucky, wait never mind

I've had one catch fire in the specified three seconds.

You had a foil wrapper on it?

It was fully baked at the Pop-Tart factory, though.

I like 'em warm

 

[Cuda1447]

little known fact: refrigerated poptarts are pretty awesome.

it's rare for me to have a poptart at all, but when I do get the craving and buy a box, it's usually brown sugar or cherry.

brown sugar is how I roll too... so you're saying to put them in the fridge and then heat then?!>! I'll try that.

I keep giggling at the notion of "cooking" a poptart. You throw it in a fucking toaster ffs.

straight from the fridge, obviously! :|

Just don't put it in a microwave. When I was in a college dorm the microwave directions were "Do not microwave". Now they read microwave for 3 seconds... So yea when I miced it for 45 seconds it caught fire O.O

This makes me want to try baked, seared and possibly fried pop tarts.

If a Pop Tart is not eaten within 20min of heating, it begins to emit formaldehyde.
You should throw it away immediately and call the EPA.

Fried Pop Tarts:

Ingredients

3 eggs
1/4 cup sugar
2 cups milk

3 2/3 cups flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons baking powder
to taste vegetable oil , for frying
Box of poptarts(whatever is clever)

Directions

Beat eggs and sugar together and then add the milk slowly--beat. Add the dry ingredients and beat until smooth and creamy.

Cut the edges off the poptarts, and cut pop tarts into six pieces. Dip in batter, fry at 350 for 2-3 minutes until golden brown.

 

[slayer202]

I've never had a pop-tart. If I eat one, will I poop out a whole pop-tart?

 

[Rubycon]

If you do that it's called a "retart".
If you are what you eat you are now a retart. :biggrin:

 

[Leros]

It'll cook more.

 

[LTC8K6]

It'll cook more.

I think once something is already cooked, and you "cook" it some more, it's not called cooking anymore...

wrong

 

[shortylickens]

Each time you toast it, it loses some moisture.

Retoast it too many times and you end up with a desiccated pop tart flavored wafer board.

Once it's been toasted once, you're probably better off reheating it in the microwave, using a wax paper baggie to minimize dry-out.

I use the microwave the first time anyway.

It's fun to leave it in the silver bag and microwave it! Arcy sparky! :biggrin:

Staticbag smoke! Do NOT breathe this!

If it dries out, just get it hot enough to slather some butter on the bottom to loosen it up a little bit.
